37-year-old Manny Pacquiao (59-6-2, 38 KOs) is once again a world champion after scoring a resounding twelve round unanimous decision over WBO welterweight champion Jessie Vargas (27-2, 10 KOs) on Saturday at UNLV's Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas Nv. Pacquiao had the champion on the floor in round two with a solid straight left, which remained the only knockdown of the night. Vargas fought his way back gallantly into the bout, but was constantly playing second best to the razor sharp Pacquiao who on this night turned back the clock despite being 10 years Vargas senior. Vargas was cut over the right eye in round eight, the injury later ruled by the commission as being caused by a punch. Pacquiao closed the fight convincingly and won by scores of 114-113, 118-109 and 118-109.
